What to Know About Screening
Prostate cancer follows skin cancer as the most common type of cancer among American men. All men are at risk, but questions about screening remain. Know your risk, watch for signs and talk to your family doctor about your options.
many men – especially those over 50 – have prostate problems. These symptoms may indicate minor problems such as benign prostatic hyperplasia (swelling of the prostate) and prostatitis (inflammation that’s usually caused by infection). But the same symptoms may mean prostate cancer. If you have any of the symptoms listed in the box (below), talk to your family doctor right away.
